Study of "Do-It-Yourself" Fade Away Creams

The newest addition to the Tattoo Removal Industry has been the “Do-It-Yourself” fade away creams. As with all new products, this method has been the subject of many discussions within the industry. The main discussion being “Does it really work?” Here at the Institute we have decided to test these creams in order to give you factual information.

Testing

We purchased products from different companies making “tattoo fade away” creams. The products were tested by volunteers for a period of 12 months. The volunteers were instructed to follow all directions as exactly given by the various companies. They reported back to us every month.

Results

We found that, yes, in fact these creams actually do what they propose to do. There were two products that did quite well. They lived up to the expectations of all the volunteer testers.

For the purposes of this informational site, we will be discussing only the top two performers. Tat B Gone had the best overall rating. While Tattoo-OFF was the second best in overall ratings, this product did excel in certain areas.

The most significant reported difference between Tattoo-OFF and Tat B Gone was that Tattoo-OFF was gentler to the skin. Tattoo-OFF credits this to having their products fortified with plant extracts. However, it took a little longer to complete the job. A longer treatment time often translate into more expenses. Our feedback suggests that for people with sensitive skin it is probably worth the extra investment.

Both products come in a 3 step system. (Tattoo-OFF has introduced a two part system) We asked each company if we could get results just using just 1 step. Both companies responded to our anonymous e-mail with the same response. The companies both reaffirm that all 3 steps must be used to achieve any meaningful results.

Nonetheless, we decided to test the validity of this statement. Several volunteers were only given one of the steps to test. These volunteer reported that they did not see any significant results. This was the case for all single steps that were used

One of the companies claims that this is the removal method of the future. After completing our test, we found ourselves in the very surprising position of agreeing with that company. Neither Tat B Gone nor Tattoo-OFF has any of the negatives usually associated with other tattoo removal methods. There was no scarring or pain involved.

By legal advice we do not mention non-effective products.
